2014 TOP 100 WINES | #8
The 'Beckstoffer To Kalon' Cabernet Sauvignon is another absolutely remarkable wine from Tor Kenward in 2012. This captivating wine instantly impresses with its wonderful purity and seductive aromas of ripe black cherries and cassis, followed by fresh cut violets, sweet spices, graphite and chocolate-licorice twist, which burst from the glass. This continues to deliver on the palate with gorgeous layers of full-bodied richness, wrapped in beautiful round tannins, while demonstrating exceptional balance and finesse all the way through the long seamless finish. A tremendous effort that is already showing so much character, yet has the potential to be a true age worthy wine as well. (Best 2016-2035) - December, 2014 (JD)
